Thanks guys

First PSR session done and the air intakes fitted



Radiators fitted, I might fit a third depending on how the nose wheel solution resolves it self



The booms are nearly finished, I just need to add a little filler to level all the surfaces up



More when it happens.........

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

It is very cool 😎 😃
Needs contras  :wacko:  :wacko:
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Like this one too... so many exotic builds in this GB

YES. It will be pretty when completed.
Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Started to attach the booms and came up with this........



Can anyone remember this configuration on other aircraft?

I was sorely tempted to run with this but the booms are too short and the inner tailplane would get shredded by the rear prop.

So back to the original plan.........



Both the booms are attached but are a bit flimsy, I'll need to add a bit of reinforcement

Thanks for looking....

😆 🤣 😂.. freaking love this 😀

I'm still thinking of a twin engined Mustang Moggy but one behind the other with contra-props...like the
Italian Macchi-Castoldi M.C. 72 ...that will look nuts and id still be able to have landing gear ⚙️  :wacko:  :wacko:

Hi all, working on the undercarriage now.

I've constructed a pod under each wing to house the man wheels which will fold forward. The pod will open to receive or let out the wheel and then close behind it so that the only doors open when the undercarriage is fully extended will be around the base of the undercarriage leg.  There is a fairing behind the leg to make things more aerodynamic.







I will need to work a similar construction for the nose wheel.

More PSR to smooth every thing out  (sigh)

Dude, that's looking sweet mate 👌  ;D

So glad I didn't have to worry about landing gear 😄

Wardukw :-  Good call on the floats, I think they would have made this build a lot more elegant, but, hey-ho, that's life  ;D  ;D


Kit :- absolutely!  As I have said before, you can't have too many drop tanks in your parts stash  :thumbsup:
